      I was shivering of course. The rain still pouring on us, I'll be sick after that for sure. I walked slowly away my feet hurts due to my heels, my heart hurts too. I didn't expect to show all my vulnerability like that to Isaac. I never received love. Dad? No I have daddy issues, my exes? None of them gave me love, they were with me only for physical reasons, I guess Isaac is one of them too. I don't even know why I said that. Am I craving so much for love? My eyes filled with tears, I didn't want to show them to Isaac. I hate to be vulnerable like that.
      -"Wait!" He called out, but I didn't stop, I don't want his pity now.
      -"Stop! You'll get sick out here! It's pouring!"
I wiped my tears and turn around, my anger back.
      -"And what?!"
He rolled his eyes, grabbed my arm, stopping me from going further.
      -"You're going to get sick! And you're soaking wet, go back to the car."
      -"I'm not going anywhere with you!"
He tightened his grip
      -"You're not going anywhere alone! You'll get sick if you stay out here any longer! Get back in the car."
      -"I don't care and you shouldn't care neither!"
He raised his voice
      -"You don't care? You don't think I should care? Are  you out of your mind?!"
He grabs my other arm and forcefully turns me to look at him. His cold eyes are sending storms, but with something else, concern? Is Isaac concerned about me? He added.
       -"You're my wife, goddamn it! Of course I care!"
       -"Let me go!"
His grip tightened, his eyes are locked into mine, he pulls me closer, practically holding me against him.
       -"No. You're not going anywhere. You're coming back with me, and that's the final."
       -"I said no."
Our faces are so close to each other's, I can feel his anger. He clenched his jaw, he keeps holding me tight.
       -"Stop acting like a child and listen to me. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. You're coming back with me, end of the discussion."
       -"Stop acting like a child?! And when you're gonna start acting like a husband huh ?!"
His eyes darkened with anger, he lifted me on his shoulder. He walked back to his car.
       -"Let me go!"
       -"Shut up you already pissed me off."
       -"I don't fucking care I don't belong to you!"
       -"You belong to me, whether you like it or not."
He sits me down in the car and buckles up, my eyes are burning with anger, I tried to push him but he pushed me in the seat before I had the opportunity to push him.
       -"Don't even think you'll be capable of running away from me."
He grabbed my hand and puts the wedding ring on my finger and sit on the driver's seat.
       -"I said I don't want to be your wife anymore"
       -"You don't have the choice, plus I don't want divorce."
Right that I didn't had the choice, my divorce with Isaac will create tensions between my brother's company and his. And of course tensions between our families, if I do that, my mom will kill me. But I didn't expect Isaac to disagree with the divorce.
       -"Why you don't want divorce? You hate me like I hate you"
His grip on the wheel tightened
       -"I can hate you but I'll hate even more the idea of you being with another man."
The rest of the ride was silent, I was still angry about Isaac, I can feel his anger too. I'm soaking wet, shivering a bit. Isaac noticed it, he stopped at a traffic light, and take off his jacket.
       -"Put that on." He said with his usual cold voice, he throw his jacket on my lap.
I put it on.

     Back at home, almost midnight. I'm tired, exhausted, angry but also disgusted by what happened to me earlier. A guy on that bar approached me and almost violated me, if I haven't kicked him in the balls, no I don't even want to imagine. I immediately ran out of the bar and called Isaac, after all he's supposed to be my husband, and because he's working basically 24/7. I was sure he'll pick up the phone. In the shower, my mind keeps reminding me of his hands on me, how disgusting. I feel so dirty, it's horrible, this can remind me of my ex, the one who violated me. Jason. I'll never forget him for what he did to me.
I go back to the bed, Isaac is already asleep. Good, that he's asleep I won't support an awake Isaac anymore. I really tried to sleep, I can't. I checked my phone, 1am, I'll be crazy. I get off of the bed, which made Isaac wake up.
        -"Where you're going?"
        -"I can't sleep, I'll grab some water"
        -"Come here"
        -"What?"
        -"Come here." He repeated
I come back in the bed laying down beside him. He wrapped his arms around me, I was surprised, he never did that before.
        -"What are you-"
        -"Sleep."
I closed my eyes, the sensation of his arms wrapped around me like that made me feel so weird, it's a good weird to be honest. I'm feeling safe like that, I hugged him back, which made him gasped. The sensation is way too good, and I hate to admit it, his big arms wrapping around me like that, his chest where I pressed my head on, the feeling of his muscled body
against me feel so reassuring. I finally felled asleep.
